I thought as I walked out the door 'did I put the channel in that post', then I thought yeah of course I did, it's just that obsessive compulsive disorder thing again:blush:

 

Thanks mate

That's why I don't get more hours in my log book, the pre-flight checks are a nightmare

Watched the show today as I recorded it for John. A very interesting show & God how lucky was she to survive that. Next weeeks in on a chap in the desert also looks like it will be a good one.

I realy enjoyed the show, amazing how she survived at that altitude.

I thought the most amazing thing was that the wing reopened after it had collapsed.:ah_oh:

I'd recommend watching it. I found it a bit slow, but very intersting from several points of view:-

 

• Amazing survival. Someone was looking after her.
   
   
  
• Human Factors. Despite realising the danger, two pilots pushed on because they didn't want to retire from the race. One died, the other was very lucky.
   
   
  
• The information retrieved from the GPS track was very interesting. The velocity of the updrafts and the altitude reached.

awsome show it did get a little slow in some places but very interesting its amazing that someone could survive all of that but then again i guess its possible :D after all she was very fit requiring which is probly what saved her

Yes amazing show, no doubt being fit and young did help her a lot....and a lot of adrenlen in those veins to keep her going also. She is so lucky lightning didn't get her like the other poor bloke unfortunatly.........Maj...
